Abstract
This article examines the development of the electorate of Alliance90/The Greens since the party’s founding. The data basis was formed by the cumulative German General Social Survey (ALLBUS) surveys from 1980 to 2018. Over the period under investigation, an increasing trend in support for Alliance90/The Greens emerged for western Germany. Using a hierarchical age–period–cohort analysis with fixed cohort effects, it is shown that support for Alliance90/The Greens increased with the succession of generations. Life cycle effects, on the other hand, are not observed. Furthermore, a positive effect of belonging to the social and cultural service class and voting for the Green Party can be demonstrated. In a weakened form, these findings are also evident in eastern Germany.
